Culture Club Celebrates Hispanic Heritage
Culture Club Celebrates Hispanic Heritage
Culture Club kicked off the school year by celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month. We learned a little about what the month is about and were joined by staff from the Y who shared information about the free Hispanic Heritage Night at the Y on October 9th from 5:30-7:30. We also did a mindfulness activity, reading some mindfulness activities -- in Spanish, of course! ¡Feliz Mes de la Herencia Hispana!

Our Green Team is getting started by taking some time to weed the space. We are looking forward to spending some great time within the courtyard throughout the school year.
8th Grade Art
8th Grade Art
Students in Mrs.Cafaro's 8th Grade Drawing and Painting elective participated in "en plein air" drawing. The French term means in the open air. Students used a tool called a viewfinder to help them look for an interesting composition. Students created three thumbnail sketches in the same way many of the Hudson River School artists once drew. Once they completed their quick sketches they chose their favorite one and drew it on a larger scale. Their final drawing will be completed in class with detail and ink.

Our lost and found table continues to gather many items. A big thank you to our office secretary, Ms. Kelly for taking the time to organize these items so we can get them back to their owners. Below are pictures of all the current items we have in our lost and found.

Connect and Reflect with Mr. Perrone
Connect and Reflect with Mr. Perrone
Connection and reflection are two important parts of MJS ONE. It is important to stay connected with our families as each of you play an important role in your child’s education. Over the course of the school year, I will be hosting Connect and Reflect sessions with our families. This will provide an opportunity for families to come together with me in person or virtually to connect and reflect on any topics relating to MJS. We will host our first Connect and Reflect with Mr. Perrone on Thursday October 9th at 9:30am.
Morning Hoops at MJS
Morning Hoops at MJS
We are excited to continue our morning program called Morning Hoops. The Morning Hoops Program provides middle school students with an engaging basketball program before the school day begins (7:00-7:45 am). This initiative will focus on physical activity, teamwork, and providing a positive start to the day. Our goal is to support a climate and culture that fosters a strong school community. A permission slip is required for students to attend this program. Depending on the interest, we may have to limit the number of students.
The Morning Hoops Program will start on Tuesday, October 14th and will run every Tuesday and Thursday in the MJS Gym. If your child is interested in participating, please click this link to complete the permission slip.

Technology Reminder about Student Chromebook Usage
Technology Reminder about Student Chromebook Usage
In Madison, we utilize a 1:1 Chromebook model where all students (grades 6-12) receive a district owned Chromebook to utilize during the school day and at home. While there is no cost for the use of the Chromebook, it is important that Chromebooks be maintained and handled in a responsible way. As we continue to move through the school year, we wanted to utilize this time as a reminder for our students and families about the importance of handling Chromebooks with care to prevent damage to the device. The district has expectations and protocols that are listed on the district website that we continue to follow at the building level.
We would like to highlight the specific section regarding lost and damaged chromebooks as a reminder to all parents and guardians:
In the event a Chromebook, case, or charger is lost or damaged beyond repair and deemed to be intentional, excessive, neglectful or student misuse, parents/guardians are responsible for paying the cost of replacement equipment.
Costs:
Chromebook (damaged beyond repair) - $365.00
Broken Screen - $90.00
Broken Keyboard - $70.00
Charger - $47.00
Case - $20.00
Other - Will be quoted by the Tech Department
Note: Final assessment of damage and fines are determined by the Technology Department.
Students are also responsible for the care of any loaners they use. Damage to loaners is subject to the same rules as permanently assigned Chromebooks.
In case of theft, parents/guardians are required to file a formal police report with the Madison Police Department.
Below are the direct links from the district website that pertains to Chromebook care and protocols followed for lost/damaged Chromebooks.
